The coroner: "Very well. Is there anything else, Mr. Inspector?"
"Nothing else, except that Mr. Atherton denied all knowledge at once of the paper found."
By Mr. Merrivale: "Did you not find also a bottle of camphorated spirits?"
"I did; but on the table. It was a fresh bottle, unopened, and bore the same label, from Mr. Davis's." (Witness dismissed.)
Mr. Merrivale here demanded to have the man Barker recalled, which was done.
Mr. Merrivale: "Can you swear to the overcoat which Mr. Atherton wore the last evening he came to Wimpole street?"
"Certainly, sir. It was a brown tweed waterproof, with deep pockets. I know it well."
"Is that the coat?" (Coat produced.)
"It is, sir."
"Can you swear to it?"
